Default valve spring choices

Doing a cam swap soon and need some advice on springs. Here is the cam specs. 210/220 @.050 .512 .512 with 1.6 rockers. Car will only be reved to 6-65k rpm. Been looking at comp 918 and comp 915. But have heard some horror stories about those. Did comp fix the problem of the springs breaking or is it still happening or should I use a different spring but equivalent and how are the yellow ls6 spring compared to the comp springs ? I can get a set of yellows pretty cheap from a buddy of mine but not to sure if they are any better then the comps

Yes I have 1.6 rockers and thats what the cam spec are advertised with 1.6 rockers also. Are comp springs still breaking like they use to a few years back? I read a lot of forum with broken springs but it was all dated in 05-07
